Case Study Journal Six The case study on Kevin Miller is very challenging. Kevin Miller is White 5th grade student, and his parent are very supportive. Kevin has a problem with attention span; consequently, he I has been identified as a candidate for Greentree Elementary School Gifted and Talented Program. I will attempt to describe the issues related to Kevin’s moral judgement and self-concept; furthermore, I will make recommendations on his part. The Millers appear to be permissive parents; therefore, the Millers seem to support Kevin in his behavior and his maladaptive ways of coping.

He went to live with a relative in Atlanta, Georgia, and he attended a school for the gifted and talented. The moral of the story is David graduated at 16 years of age. He has two Masters in Communications and International Business. David has a wonderful job; therefore, I really would recommend to the parents to find the right school for their son. The growth of the self can take numerous routes, and persons differ extensively in the way they look to their obligations and beliefs in describing their personal identities (Broderick and Blewitt, 2014:256). In Kevin’s case moral development and reasoning would depend on the situation. Freud explained conscience formation was linked to the bond between parents and children as a function of attachment; additionally, it served as function of fear of the parents (Broderick and Blewitt, 2014:258). However, Freud’s theory is not backed up by research. According to Piaget, adolescents comprehend in their teenage years as they collect more experience in egalitarian connections with their peers; nevertheless, their moral thinking becomes more autonomous (Broderick and Blewitt, 2014:259). At this stage, Kevin can …show more content…
My guess is he suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and he needs medications. I would recommend Kevin get tested by his doctor or referred to a psychiatrist. Some individuals have a negative attitude about ADHD medications; consequently, they deprive their children of these medication that they need in order to function. If a caring physician monitors the child and the medications; therefore they can beneficial. The Academic self-concept is divided into precise school subjects such as math, science, English, and social studies, and the accumulation of other components such as artistic self-concepts is another component that has been added (Broderick and Blewitt, 2014). The nonacademic self-concept is separated into social, emotional, and self-concepts; therefore, the last sphere is further subdivided into physical capability and physical presentation (Broderick and Blewitt, 2014). Self-concept and self-esteem work hand in hand to become independent and self-sufficient, and Kevin might be trying
Isaac Jackson: Isaac was an African American boy who was referred for testing due to behavioral problems. At 10 years old, he and his siblings, a “younger brother and sister,” lost their father leaving them with their widowed mother who failed “to keep an appointment because of her work.” In 4th grade, Isaac was referred for special education, and in 5th grade, he “was placed in a self-contained class for students with behavior disorders.” He remained in special education since because of the sudden population growth, which resulted in a poor review of his abilities and needs by previous teachers,
Two people with two completely different characteristics have something alike. Both Dally and Johnny are mentally tough because of their parents. Johnny and Dally’s parents both do not care for them and could care less about them. For example, during Dally’s childhood he went to jail, been in a gang, and has been in many fights and his dad still would not care for him even if he won the lottery. Dally also talks about his dad's disgrace towards him in the car with Johnny and Ponyboy, “‘ Shoot, my dad don’t give a hang whether I’m in jail or dead in a car wreck or drunk in a gutter...’”(88). Dally could easily live without his dad and he does for the most part. Dally just hangs around with his friends and stays at their place. Similarly, Johnny's parents use him like a rag doll to blow off steam, “his father always beating him up”(14). The gang knows what happenes in Johnny’s house. Once Ponyboy was witnessing, “Johnny take a whipping with a two-by-four from his old man”(33). Ponyboy talks about how loud and mean Johnny's mom is and,“you can...

He is happy with his job as well as happily married to his wife who works at the same factory. He has children but they are raised and moved out of the Miller’s home.

All diseases and disorders are categorized by a set of symptoms, or signs that are indicative of certain diseases or disorders. Thus, symptoms are important when diagnosing a person. They serve as a communication tool between the clinical psychologist and the client. When detecting symptoms of a person, it allows the clinician to understand the client’s physical, emotional, and mental discomforts. Using the symptoms reported by the client, the clinician can then determine what the client’s clinical diagnosis is.

Leaders in the school have hard decisions to help make on a daily basis. They need to evaluate their decisions to make sure they are ethical and effective. Administrators need to listen to all sides of a situation and evaluate all options before they make a decision. This process is difficult because administrators need to make sure that all parties involved are satisfied with the decision that was formed.

What makes a person gifted has been debated historically and continues on today. The debate has been influenced by politics and culture, which impact how gifted children are educated.

She believes that a child’s feeling and personal goals is locked away, and instead is replaced with their parent’s expectations and desires. The child soon begins to develop narcissistic traits, in which the parent should allow the child to express feelings such as jealously and anger. In the novel Miller (1996) states “he develops something the mother needs…but it nevertheless may prevent him, throughout his life, from being himself” (p. 34). Allowing children to experience feeling such as anger and jealously provides an understanding on the child is not always perfect. However narcissistic disturbance occurs when a parent projects their own narcissistic desires onto their child, unfortunately suppressing their desires and acquiring their parents. Incidentally several students from Princeton University conducted a research in order demonstrate how narcissism is cultivated by the parents’ overvaluation and parental warmth. Eddie Mrummelman and colleagues (2014) stated, “When parents overvalue their child, they see their child as “God’s gift to man”…children might internalize the belief that they are special individuals who are entitled to privileges” (p 2). The article suggested that parents, who prevent their child from experiencing failure, encourage narcissistic attitudes. The important implication from this study demonstrates how a parent can overly evaluate their child’s
Using Allison’s strengths and interests is important to helping her become a successful student. This is the method of helping Bender, Brian and any other student become successful in school. Building on the student strengths, while allowing them to work on their weaknesses is important for all students and especially for twice-exceptional students in the classroom. When looking at the student’s weakness it is important to understand that their behavior is not a weakness, but a result of an underlying cause. Examining the cause of the behavior will help recognize the challenge areas for improvement by understanding the underlying cause for the behavior. After understanding the student’s strengths and challenges, the teachers can then fully help the student learn to the best of their abilities.

...gh-functioning individuals in that domain. Further, giftedness can be viewed as developmental, in that in the beginning stages, potential is the key variable; in later stages, achievement is the measure of giftedness; and in fully developed talents, eminence is the basis on which this label is granted. Psychosocial variables play an essential role in the manifestation of giftedness at every developmental stage. Both cognitive and psychosocial variables are malleable and need to be deliberately cultivated (L. Coleman & Cross, 2005, Dai & Coleman, 2005a; Mayer, 2005; Olszewski-Kubilius, 2000).
